The Illinois State Police is urging drivers to adhere to the "Slow Down, Move Over" law to ensure safety on roadways. The law requires motorists to reduce speed and change lanes when approaching any vehicle with hazard or emergency lights activated. This regulation aims to protect emergency personnel, road workers, and travelers.

According to the Illinois State Police, this initiative is not only a legal requirement but also a crucial measure for maintaining safety on roads. Drivers are reminded of their responsibility to create a safer environment for those working or stranded on highways.
